Chapter 11: The Dinner
Wen Yi sighed.
Who's going to tidy up with you?
Didn't I say I'd read a book on tea art for a while?
But she did not say anything, and began her labor in silence.
There were only two bookshelves in the small study, most of which were books that Wen Yi was interested in buying, and Ji Heng rarely set foot in this place.
The two of them have a bookshelf, not far away, and they actually do their work like this.
"Do you like Iceland?"
Ji Heng suddenly spoke, holding a stack of books in his hand, and said thoughtfully: "These books are all about Iceland." ”
Wen Yi glanced at the black white shirt that had been rubbed, and the tie that was very valuable and difficult to clean.
Chose to ignore them for the time being.
"It's okay."
She bought those books when she was a girl, and after she got married, she moved to the Ji family together, and she hasn't opened them for many years.
She took it with a little nostalgia: "When I was a child, I thought this place was interesting. ”
Ji Heng said quietly: "What now? ”
His hand was raised, as if he wanted to help Wen Yi, but in the end he didn't succeed in reaching out, and finally had to straighten out his tie seriously.
Wen Yi watched as he ruined that tie even more.
She sighed.
I heard him say, "If you want, this eleven, I can ask the secretary to arrange you in." Follow the people from the company and go to Iceland for a trip. ”
Wen Yi was still pity for the tie, and said casually: "No need, I'm not interested in that place anymore." ”
She's not a particularly travelling person, preferring to spend time with the people she loves than outside.
I would have collected those books just for my honeymoon.
Ji Heng's movements paused: "You don't want to?" ”
Wen Yi glanced at him inexplicably: "If you insist on asking for it...... I can do it too. ”
Ji Heng turned his head abruptly.
The movements of his subordinates became faster and faster, and halfway through, Steward Wang came over with tea and snacks to take a look, and saw that the couple was working hard and neither of them was talking to anyone.
Confused, he retreated.
After Ji Heng went out, the old man came in again.
While helping Wen Yu work slowly, he sighed: "Mrs...... Young Master, he's admitting his mistake to you. ”
He shook his head: "This child is something I've seen since I was a child, and he's very thin-skinned. It's harder to get him to apologize than to ascend to the sky. Just spare him this time. ”
He smiled slyly: "Our young master is actually quite gentle, right?" ”
Wen Yi also smiled, and the movements in his hands did not stop: "Yes, he is quite gentle." ”
A slap will give a sweet date.
She's used to it.
After all...... Gentleness is the opposite of cruelty.
After eating sweet dates, it will be extremely painful to be slapped.
…………
"Have you ever regretted it?"
At the Ji family's dining table, Ji Heng suddenly spoke, he looked at Wen Yi intently, the light was fluent, and his dark eyes looked at Wen Yu faintly: "I regret that I shouldn't have stolen Wen Qiao's things." Regret that you shouldn't have set that fire? ”
Wen Yi's movements did not stop, the Ji family's dining table has always been very quiet, her attention is still focused on the roasted ham, the cook is right, her craftsmanship is indeed very good.
So her answer was natural, without any pretense at all.
A crisp voice rang out: "No." Never. ”
Where can you talk about regretting things that have never been done at all?
It wasn't until she ate the piece of roasted ham in her mouth that she reacted, and looked at Ji Heng, who was expressionless and suddenly left the table, at a loss.
Eating tastelessly, he swallowed the piece of ham and smiled bitterly.
I've never regretted it......
There is no regret about loving you for so many years.
…………
Early in the morning, after Wen Yu washed up, he came to the kitchen as a matter of course and made breakfast according to his habit.
The cook had a leave of absence with Steward Wang last night, and she was going to participate in a competition today, so she made breakfast in advance yesterday and put it in the refrigerator.
Wen Yu was almost done cooking before he remembered this.
"Isn't that overweight......"
She glanced at the fridge and decided to eat her own meal first in the morning.
"The contents of the refrigerator can't be broken, so let's use it as dinner."
"Why are you so skinny?"
Startled by this sudden voice, Wen Yu almost didn't hold the kitchen knife in his hand.
Looking back, it was Ji Heng.
He was dressed in lounge clothes with a loose top, unlike the image of his former business elite.
There are even a few dull hairs on the top of the head that can't be suppressed.
Wen Yi looked at him very strangely: "What did you say?" ”
Different from the loose appearance, Ji Heng's expression was still as serious as ever: "I asked you why you are so thin, is there any nutrition that has not been supplemented?" ”
He even opened his arms and gestured: "Your waist is only so thin......"
He raised his eyebrows: "I can shake it with one hand." ”
He really shook it.
Wen Yi's face suddenly turned red, and he was very embarrassed: "I, I don't have malnutrition......"
She stammered, and she didn't know what she was talking about: "I didn't like meat when I was a child, that's why I'm so thin." ”
She couldn't help but recall the situation when Ji Heng measured her waist length with his hand.
Ji Heng's eyes were dark, and he suddenly smiled.
Wen Yu was stunned for a moment.
This smile is different from before, and even the so-called affection is not the same as when facing Wen Qiao.
It's just warm and peaceful, which makes people's hearts soften.
He took the initiative to step forward and help Wen Yu bring out breakfast.
"Come out and eat."
His voice is very casual, and the fragrance of pine on his body is comfortable.
"In the future, I will ask Steward Wang to buy more meat and come back."
Wen Yi silently followed behind him, such a Ji Heng was too unfamiliar.
She had no experience with such a Ji Heng and didn't know how to deal with it.
"A truce, okay?"
Wen Yi's attention this time was always firmly focused on Ji Heng's body, and he didn't make the same mistake as last time.
"Good!"
Her answer was resounding.
The funny Ji Heng smiled faintly.
also said casually: "Okay." ”
While listening to the morning news, he said over and over again, "Go and accompany me to a party in the evening." Charity dinner, dressed up a little prettierly. ”
Wen Yi nervously put down the knife and fork: "I, me?" ”
Ji Heng glanced at her: "Isn't it who you are?" ”
His expression was faint: "The invitation says, bring your partner to the entrance - you should still be my partner, right?" ”
Wen Yu gasped, not noticing the meaning of Ji Heng's words at all.
"But I don't have a dress for the dinner."
She was anxious as if she was something: "Is it too late to pick now?" ”
She vaguely remembers that at this kind of dinner, there is a lot of attention to dress etiquette.
The slightest mistake will attract ridicule from others.
"I'm ready, let Steward Wang bring it to you in the afternoon."
Ji Heng frowned, and focused his attention elsewhere: "Didn't the Wen family prepare these things for you before?" ”
Wen Yi breathed a sigh of relief and replied obediently, "No." Since I had never been to any of these occasions, I had never bought a dress. ”
Wen Yi was a little cramped, and hurriedly said: "But I still know the etiquette that I should know, so there should be no problem, right?" ”
Ji Heng paused and shook his head.
He said softly: "You can just follow me, and no one else needs to care." ”
There is certainly no problem with etiquette...... It's just that he vaguely remembered that Wen Qiao had complained to him a long time ago that the dress his parents bought for Wen Yi was even much higher than that of her own daughter.
It made her very sad.
For this, Ji Heng even paid out of his own pocket to accompany her to Paris.
In the afternoon, in front of the dressing mirror.
"Wouldn't it be too revealing?"
Wen Yi looked at himself in the mirror, his face was flushed, and he was a little uneasy: "I have revealed so many ......"
The makeup artist helped her smooth out the tiny folds on her skirt, looked at Wen Yu with satisfaction, and said disapprovingly: "How come?" ”
Her face was full of admiration: "You are my best work of the year - really, ma'am, you are so beautiful." ”
Wen Yi slowly turned around in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, and the skirt seemed to be cut according to her figure.
The flowing skirt is very textured and fluttering.
The back was almost completely hollowed out, and the delicate skin glowed white in the light, with only a bow tied at her waistline.
Someone knocked on the door: "Is it almost?" ”
Wen Yu immediately became nervous.
This person is Ji Heng.
The makeup artist smiled and went to open the door: "It's already ready." Young Master Ji, you have to give me more bonuses this time! Madame, did you stun you? ”
Ji Heng saw a Wen Yu with his head down.
She seemed a little shy and didn't dare to look up at herself.
"You ......"
Wen Yi listened nervously to his evaluation.
"What?"
Ji Heng seemed to laugh.
"You're beautiful."
Ji Heng walked over, touched the bow on her waist, and his fingers went down from her waist, paused at her lower abdomen, and quickly released it.
Wen Yu's face was getting redder and redder, and he was about to drip blood.
"This dress suits you perfectly."
Ji Heng said lightly: "Let's go, I'll take you to the banquet." ”
The grandeur of the banquet was beyond Wen Yu's imagination.
"This is Chi Ji. The one who played Chang'an in "Silent Chang'an". ”
Someone quietly introduced to Wen Yi: "She's beautiful, right?" should be the hottest female star now. ”
Wen Yu smiled politely at the man and looked towards the brightest place in the light.
That woman is indeed very beautiful, wearing a bright red dress, and her aura is extremely strong. didn't even look at the men around her, it seemed that in this world, no man could be looked at by her.
The girl who was talking to Wen Yi was very curious: "We've been talking for so long, and you haven't told me your identity yet." ”
